context_page_description: Jonathan James Scheyer is an American-Israeli former basketball player, currently an associate head coach of the Duke Blue Devils men's basketball team. Scheyer led his high school team to an Illinois state basketball championship as a high school All-American, and was one of the starters on the 2009–10 Duke Blue Devils that won the 2010 NCAA Basketball Championship, as a college All-American. He was a prolific high school scorer, and later an Atlantic Coast Conference leader in numerous statistical categories, ranging from free throw percentage and three point shots/game to assists/turnover ratio.
  In high school, he once scored 21 points in a game's final 75 seconds of play in an attempt to spark a comeback. The 4th-leading scorer in Illinois high school history, he led his team to a state championship in 2005, and was named Illinois Mr. Basketball in 2006. Also in 2006, Scheyer was voted as one of the 100 Legends of the IHSA Boys Basketball Tournament, a group of former players and coaches in honor of the 100 anniversary of the IHSA boys basketball tournament.
context_section_description: Despite the fact that he was a starter as a freshman, Coach Mike Krzyzewski (Coach K) chose to start Gerald Henderson, Jr., in Scheyer's place for the majority of the season.  Scheyer started only once during his sophomore year, but played in all 34 games.  On December 20, 2007, he grabbed a career-high 12 rebounds against Pittsburgh.  He scored 27 points at Miami on February 20, 2008, matching the most points by a player off the bench in Duke history.  His free throw percentage (.889) was 2nd in the ACC for the season, 12th in the nation, and 5th-best in school history.  He had a team-best 2.24:1 assist-to-turnover ratio, averaged the third-most minutes-per-game on the team (28.3), was fourth in scoring (11.7), and was widely hailed as one of the country's top sixth men.  He averaged 3.9 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 1.4 steals per game.
